Tauri v2 Development Skill

Tauri v2 lets you build tiny, fast apps for desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android) by combining a web frontend with a Rust backend. Apps use the system's native webview instead of bundling a browser engine, so a minimal app can be under 600KB.

Default stack in this skill: React + Vite + TypeScript frontend, Rust backend. Adapt if the user specifies a different framework.
